Pros

Great stable company. Great benefits. Very good Salary. Very solid job if you're in headquarters in Jax.

Cons

Field management operates as though as in functional silos, often ignoring or being aware of the big picture while focusing on maintaining/salvaging the numbers. Office politics remind me of high school cliches, complete with cliques and factions. Promotion opportunities are often political in nature, i.e. chosen ones get interviewed as a formality while other candidates' time is wasted as filler to say they went through the proper process.
